Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMonitoring of the Saiga Population: Balancing Nature and AgricultureZhanbolat Ibraibekov, Saule Atshabarova, Ermek Gabdullin et al.The rapid recovery of the Saiga population (Saiga tatarica) in Kazakhstan represents a significant conservation success; however, it has simultaneously generated complex ecological and socio-economic challenges in steppe ecosystems. This study evaluates the relationships between Saiga population density and pasture ecosystem condition and identifies ecological thresholds relevant to balancing biodiversity conservation and sustainable agricultural land use. The research is based … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 4 · 27 Oct 2026 · 50 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsIntroduction of the Pasture Plant Fescue (Festuca valesiaca) for the Improvement of Degraded Pastures in the Steppe Zone of KazakhstanMeldebekova Nurgul Alikhanovna, Seitbattalova Ainur Islamovna, Ainebekova Bakyt Alpysbaevna et al.This study presents the results of a comprehensive evaluation of Festuca valesiaca, a dominant perennial grass species widely used in steppe ecosystems for pasture improvement. Previous research has demonstrated the importance of native fescue species in enhancing productivity and resilience of degraded rangelands under arid conditions. However, breeding efforts for this species in Kazakhstan remain insufficiently developed. The research was … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 3 · 14 Sep 2026 · 667 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpecies Diversity of Lichens in the Burabay State National Park, KazakhstanAizhan Baubekova, Zhanilxan Bukabayeva, Assemgul Sarsenova et al.Lichens constitute essential components of terrestrial ecosystems, and comprehensive documentation of lichen diversity is fundamental for conservation and ecosystem management. This study investigated the species composition and ecological distribution of lichens in Burabay State National Nature Park, northern Kazakhstan. Established in 2000, the park encompasses over 100,000 hectares representing a unique forest-steppe ecotone surrounded by extensive steppe landscapes, supporting approximately … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 4 · 16 Feb 2026 · 1,833 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Impact of Changes in Forage Vegetation for Saiga (Saiga Tatarica) On Natural Pastures in The Steppe Zone of the West Kazakhstan RegionAmanay Myrzabayev, Zhanbolat Ibraibekov, Zhangeldi Ussenov et al.This study investigates the impact of recent climate changes and reduced anthropogenic pressure on the vegetation cover in the steppe regions of Russia and Kazakhstan, particularly focusing on the effects on saiga (Saiga tatarica) populations. By the late 1990s, a significant shift towards the dominance of grasses and the reduction of herbaceous plants in semi-arid and arid regions was observed, … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 4 · 7 Feb 2026 · 1,772 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEidonomy of Apis mellifera Workers and Drones in ApiariesAnuarbek Temirbekovich Bissembayev, Natalia Evgenievna Zemskova, Vener Nurullovich Sattarov et al.In modern ecosystems, the increasing anthropogenic load, the absence or an insufficient number of scientifically based integrated programs and measures for the reproduction and distribution of local bee populations, as well as the preservation of their habitat territories; unsystematic hybridization leads to the transformation of the quantitative and qualitative composition of bees in the regions. In connection with the presented … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 23, Issue 2 · 16 Mar 2023 · 5,111 accessesView PDFCite
